Looking at buying, just wondering on price of parts and if they are reliable? This has 120 000 miles and no service history but has 12 months ticket so am unsure what it will be like (havent viewed it yet).

buy it mate! I can't say anything but good things about mine, relatively quick, amazing what it can keep up with.
Easy to get more power out of them as well - look in the tutorials section ( just wish I had the guts to do it to mine lol)
Engine is bullet proof
